Oaklawn stakes winners feature on Churchill’s Rich Stephen Foster card

Three Oaklawn Park stakes winners are entered Saturday at Churchill Downs, including Streamline and Farrell in the Grade 2 $200,000 Fleur de Lis Handicap for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles.

Streamline ran in all four legs of Oaklawn’s two-turn stakes series for older fillies and mares the last three years, winning the $100,000 Pippin in 2016, the Grade 2 $350,000 Azeri in 2017 and Grade 3

$150,000 Bayakoa on Feb. 17.

Farrell, the 3-1 morning line favorite, also ran in all four legs of the series this year, winning the $125,000 Pippin Jan. 13. A victory Saturday would make the 4-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon a millionaire. Farrell has a 7-1-2 record from 15 career starts and earnings of $916,377.

“We were so close in the La Troienne,” trainer Wayne Catalano said. “I think the Fleur de Lis is a good spot for her. Obviously with the Breeders’ Cup here at Churchill Downs, in our backyard, if we win we’re guaranteed a spot in the race.”

Streamline is scheduled to break from post 4 under Chris Landeros and carry 116 pounds. Farrell, the scheduled 119-pound starting high weight, is scheduled to break from post 9 under regular rider Channing Hill.

Also entered are Oaklawn-raced Fuhriously Kissed and Blue Prize. Fuhriously Kissed ran second in two maiden special weights events at the 2016 Oaklawn meeting and third in the Grade 1 $700,000 Apple Blossom Handicap on April 13. She is also entered in the $100,000 Obeah Stakes Saturday at Delaware Park.

Blue Prize ran on March 17 in the Azeri, Oaklawn’s final major prep for the Apple Blossom.

Probable post time for the Fleur de Lis Handicap, which goes as race 7, is 8:05 p.m.

Anchoring Churchill’s program is the eighth race, the Grade 1

$500,000 Stephen Foster Handicap at 1 1/8 miles. Hawaakom, winner of Oaklawn’s Grade 3 $500,000 Razorback Handicap for older horses on Feb. 19, is scheduled to break from post 3 under Brian Hernandez Jr. and carry 117 pounds.

Gun Runner won the Razorback and Stephen Foster en route to

2017 Horse of the Year honors.

Oaklawn-raced Lookin At Lee is scheduled to break from post 7 for perennial Oaklawn champions, jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. and Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, and carry 115 pounds. Matrooh, a two-

time winner this year at Oaklawn, drew post 5. Probable post for the Stephen Foster is 8:39 p.m. Graduates of the Grade 3 $200,000 Honeybee Stakes for

3-year-old fillies, the key race of the 2017 Oaklawn meeting, have combined for 13 stakes victories following the Grade 3 $100,000 Mint Julep on Saturday at Churchill Downs.

Lovely Bernadette won the 1 1/16-mile grass race by a neck in her first start for Bernie Flint, Oaklawn’s leading trainer in 1992 and 1993. Lovely Bernadette, then under the care Jimmy DiVito, ran twice in 2017 at Oaklawn and was based in Hot Springs earlier this year before being transferred to Flint. She won three grass stakes last year, two in graded company, following the Honeybee.

The 1 1/16-mile Honeybee featured 11 starters last year. All but one returned to win, with nine of the stakes victories graded events.

Honeybee winner It Tiz Well captured the Grade 1 $1 million Cotillion last year at Parx for Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.

After finishing third in the Honeybee, Elate — a daughter of Oaklawn stakes winners Medaglia d’Oro and Cheery — captured the Grade 1 $600,000 Alabama at Saratoga and Grade 1 $400,000 Beldame at Belmont Park and was a finalist for champion 3-yearold filly. Elate is nearing her 4-year-old debut for Hall of Famer Bill Mott, Oaklawn’s leading trainer in 1986.

Another post-Honeybee 2017 stakes winner, Someday Soon, is entered in a 1-mile allowance on the grass Saturday at Belterra Park for trainer Will VanMeter.

My Sweet Stella, an allowance winner last year after running in the Honeybee, is the 4-5 program favorite for the $45,000 Dr. O.G. Fischer Memorial Handicap Sunday at Sunray Park in New Mexico. Probable post time for the 7-furlong event, which goes as race 7, is 4:39 p.m.

Unraced at 4, My Sweet Stella will be making her first start for owner G. Chris Coleman and trainer Henry Dominguez. She was previously campaigned by her breeder, Zayat Stables LLC, and Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas.

Fuhriously Kissed is also entered in the $100,000 Obeah Stakes for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles Saturday at Delaware Park, as is Power of Snunner. Probable post time for the Obeah, which goes as race 7, is 3:15 p.m.

Combatant, who went through Oaklawn’s four-race Kentucky Derby prep series this year, is entered in the Grade 3 $100,000 Matt Winn Stakes Saturday at Churchill Downs for Santana and Asmussen. Probable post time for the Matt Winn, which goes as race 5, is 6:57 p.m.

Santana’s victory aboard the Asmussen-trained Bee Jersey in the $1.2 Met Mile Saturday at Belmont Park was his third career in a Grade 1 race and first outside Oaklawn. He has been Oaklawn’s leading rider the last six years, won the Grade 1 $1 million Arkansas Derby in 2016 aboard the Asmussen-trained Creator and the Apple Blossom on April 13 aboard Unbridled Mo for trainer Todd Pletcher.

Asmussen, who has won nine Oaklawn training titles since 2007, saddled Bee Jersey to a blowout allowance victory Jan. 20 in Hot Springs.

Magnum Moon had his second work since the May 5 Kentucky Derby, covering a half-mile in :50.04 Saturday over Belmont Park’s training track. Magnum Moon won Oaklawn’s Grade 2 $900,000 Rebel Stakes on March 17 and the Arkansas Derby on April 14.
